O quadro clínico do beribéri é geralmente dividido em tipo seco (neurítico) e tipo úmido (cardíaco). A doença é úmida ou seca dependendo da quantidade de líquido que se acumula no corpo devido a fatores como função cardíaca, lesões renais e outros; mesmo que a causa exata deste edema nunca tenha sido explicada com sucesso. Muitos casos de deficiência de tiamina mostram uma mistura das duas características principais e são mais apropriadamente denominados deficiência de tiamina com cardiopatia e neuropatia periférica. O bebê mostra sinais de cianose e pode ocorrer um ataque cardíaco agudo, geralmente morrendo em 2 a 4 horas. A idade comum para essa forma de doença por deficiência é de um mês até o terceiro mês. Esse tipo de deficiência responde de forma muito dramática à tiamina. | |||
